Hey,guys! I need your help for my school project,it is going to be a Powerpoint presentation of Dos gaming history,and Dosgames Forum History,so if you guys could help me finding history about those two topics,and if you could take screen shots of some of the well known games,like Duke Nukem 3D,Doom,Komander Keen Series(i'm open for suggestions)[Because i'm unable to work from my PC,i'm bounded to my dads PC at his Job],so if you would help me I would be very grateful,and of course i will mention your names in the Thanks to section of the presentation.
Hope you will help.

You may want to say a few words about DOS itself, this page presents a timeline of releases n'stuff:
http://www.abo.fi/~adeheer/students/itdoshis.htm
It contains such gems as:
"Microsoft releases MS-DOS 3.0 for PCs. It adds support for 1.2 MB floppy disks, and
bigger (than 10 MB.) hard disks."
Some important DOS games you may want to include: (there's lots more that could be included, but these are the ones I came up with off the top of my head, listed very roughly in order from oldest to newest ... you can check the dates for all these on mobygames.com)
Zork
Ultima
King's Quest
SimCity
Tetris
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego
Civilization
The Incredible Machine
Wing Commander
Wolf 3D
Diablo
Doom
Warcraft II
7th Guest
Myst
HalfLife
CounterStrike
The Sims

Replace Diablo on Emmzee's list with Daggerfall and Half-Life with Quake. (Two other influential DOS games)

Also R@am you should talk about dos before microsoft came along and took the software and made it their own.
